Okay , welcome back to the regenerative health podcast
3:43
. I'm sitting down again with
3:45
Tristan Scott , who is an electrical
3:47
engineer and EMF expert
3:50
. He has extensively
3:52
researched the effects that
3:54
non-native electromagnetic fields
3:57
are having on human biology and
3:59
really fitting that into a health
4:01
optimizing paradigm
4:03
. Tristan , thanks for coming back on the show .
4:06
Yeah , thanks for having Max , Great to be back
4:08
and excited to talk about this topic
4:11
again in more depth
4:13
.
4:13
There is so much to go in
4:16
terms of EMF , but I
4:18
really want to address the topic of
4:20
5G . This is
4:22
an area that has
4:24
been the domain of , might
4:27
I say , quacks , more
4:29
fringe and health areas
4:32
, but the relevance
4:35
to human health is becoming
4:37
more and more apparent to me , especially
4:39
as I'm putting now more
4:41
and more the mitochondria at the center of this
4:43
kind of disease and sickness paradigm
4:48
. I think that non-native EMF really
4:51
makes more sense when we are
4:53
prioritizing our mitochondria as the
4:55
determinant of sickness
4:58
and disease . Maybe
5:00
, to start the interview often and
5:02
this is some topics that you covered really
5:04
well in your EMF 101 course , and
5:07
I'll put the links to that in the show
5:09
notes afterwards Maybe we can start
5:11
the discussion before we even talk about
5:13
5G , about what is the electromagnetic
5:16
spectrum that we
5:18
as humans evolved
5:20
with and what we are expecting from
5:23
an ancestral point of view .
5:26
Yeah , that's a great way to
5:28
start and I think that's important context
5:30
for talking about modern
5:33
EMFs that
5:35
are non-native origin . The
5:37
electromagnetic spectrum is
5:39
vast and this is basically
5:43
anything that we would
5:45
consider light , both non-visible
5:48
and visible light . And visible
5:50
light to humans is like a tiny
5:52
fraction of the electromagnetic
5:54
spectrum , but it's all comprised
5:57
of a photonic energy
6:00
. These waves have both an electric field component
6:02
and a magnetic field component , and
6:05
the difference between any
6:07
area on the spectrum is the
6:09
frequency that it's oscillating
6:11
at and the wavelength of
6:13
that wave . And what
6:16
we would be exposed to naturally
6:18
is predominantly what's coming from
6:20
sunlight that's reaching the Earth's
6:22
surface , so that's going to be visible
6:25
light , the full
6:27
rainbow , from violet to
6:30
red light , and then above and
6:32
below that , in terms of energy levels as well
6:34
, where we get UV radiation
6:36
UVA and UVB which makes it
6:38
to the Earth's surface UVC
6:41
does not really and then infrared
6:43
light , so near-infrared , mid-infrared
6:47
actually gets eaten up by the ionosphere
6:49
a little bit and then we get some far infrared that passes
6:52
through . So this is the predominant
6:54
electromagnetic radiation
6:56
that we're exposed to
6:58
on a daily basis as humans
7:01
. What our biology is
7:03
really programmed , quote-unquote
7:05
, to work with Like
7:07
this is the stimulus , this is the
7:09
energy from a photon
7:12
perspective that we're designed for and it's
7:14
quite vast but
7:16
it's not nearly encompassing the entire
7:19
electromagnetic spectrum and
7:21
that has both
7:23
a higher energy component to
7:25
it and a lower energy component and lower
7:28
frequency component to it
7:30
. So above the
7:32
visible and ultraviolet
7:34
spectrum in terms of frequency and energy , is
7:36
what we call ionizing radiation
7:39
. So that includes ultraviolet
7:41
, it includes x-rays , it includes
7:43
gamma-rays and sometimes there
7:45
is a very small , very
7:47
low intensity amount of ionizing
7:50
x-ray radiation , for example . That'll
7:53
make it down to the Earth's surface for
7:55
very small amounts . And again
7:57
, we can be exposed to these things at
8:00
a higher level on flights
8:02
because we're going tens of thousands
8:04
of feet above the Earth's
8:06
surface and that's why you get a little bit
8:08
higher exposure on transatlantic or
8:12
trans-consonant flights and
8:14
those are ionizing radiation
8:16
. So they have enough energy from
8:19
a photon perspective to knock an electron
8:21
completely out of its
8:23
orbital , making it
8:26
ionized , so removing it
8:28
from the atom completely , and
8:30
this is dangerous for
8:33
DNA damage and things like that . It's
8:35
known to cause
8:37
things like cancer and that's why we have to
8:39
be careful with x-rays . And then gamma-rays
8:41
are even higher energy photons above
8:43
that , below that , below
8:46
infrared is the
8:49
rest of the electromagnetic spectrum
8:51
you could say , and this is where most
8:54
of our technology is operating
8:56
at . We have the radio frequency realm
8:58
, we have the microwave frequency realm
9:01
, which is pretty much within the radio frequency
9:03
spectrum , it's just
9:05
named different because different
9:07
applications . And then
9:10
we have kind of the lower frequency
9:12
band , and the lower
9:14
frequency band is also
9:16
where we use our power
9:18
electrical grid
9:21
at 50 hertz internationally
9:23
or 60 hertz in the US , and
9:25
this is also where there's some native
9:28
electromagnetic radiation that we're exposed to as
9:31
well . So we have the infrared
9:33
visible ultraviolet exposure from sunlight
9:36
, and then we also have some
9:38
exposure to low frequency
9:41
magnetic fields and electric
9:43
fields , naturally from the Earth . So the
9:46
Earth has a magnetic field that
9:49
is a result of the molten
9:51
iron core . The moving charges
9:54
in the iron core generate
9:56
a magnetic field , so magnetic fields
9:58
are generated from moving charged particles or
10:01
current . And then there's
10:03
also the Schumann's residence , which
10:06
is a result of lightning strikes on
10:09
the Earth , and this is also
10:11
in the low frequency range , around
10:13
7.83 hertz for the first harmonic
10:15
. So these are natural
10:18
native electromagnetic radiation
10:21
that we are exposed
10:23
to , that we would have
10:26
been exposed to for the existence
10:28
of humanity and this is
10:30
what you could say our biology is kind of
10:32
tuned to work with . Everything
10:35
else is coming from
10:38
our technology , coming from non-native
10:40
sources , and one of the biggest differences
10:43
, especially in the low frequency electromagnetic
10:46
fields from the Earth that are natural
10:49
, is the intensity . The
10:51
intensity is very , very , very
10:53
small compared
10:55
to , say , our electrical grid
10:57
, what we're exposed to on a daily basis
10:59
and this is stuff that I talk about
11:02
quite often , and you could
11:04
argue as well that there's a very , very
11:06
tiny amount of radio frequencies
11:08
that also pass through the atmospheric
11:10
window , but again from , I
11:12
think one quote I read online from
11:15
a researcher said that if you put one cell
11:17
phone on the moon , it would surpass
11:19
all the radio frequency intensity that
11:21
we would quote unquote naturally
11:23
receive . So yeah
11:25
, it's kind of the gauntlet of the vast
11:28
electromagnetic spectrum . The argument
11:30
that people make is that non-ionizing
11:32
radiation is not harmful to our biology
11:34
, it only has a quote unquote thermal
11:37
effect and that
11:39
we're exposed to far higher levels of
11:41
EMFs from the sun , which
11:44
is the second part of that is
11:46
true we are from an energy
11:48
perspective , the EMF
11:51
from the sun is far higher
11:53
than radio waves . It's far higher than power
11:55
frequencies , but it is something
11:57
our biology is programmed to use
11:59
and has been for millions
12:01
of years .
12:04
Yeah , great summary . And I
12:06
think that there's very
12:08
convenient ways of passing
12:11
off or ignoring or
12:13
minimizing the novelty
12:16
of this environmental
12:18
exposure , which is non-native
12:20
electromagnetic fields . And
12:22
I think that when
12:24
we can obviously go in depth in the rest
12:26
of the podcast about why that is the case but
12:29
if something is tasteless
12:31
, colorless , can't be seen , can't
12:34
be felt well , can
12:38
obviously felt viscerally
12:41
, then it can be easy
12:44
to pass
12:46
it off as not being significant . But
12:49
when we realize
12:51
that the , not only the
12:53
wavelengths that we're being exposed to , but also
12:55
the intensity of the energy , is
12:57
like nothing that any ancestral
12:59
human had to deal
13:02
with , then I think it's a very
13:04
good way of framing this
13:07
as an abnormal thing
13:09
. So maybe talk
13:11
about the , maybe
13:14
a quick distinction between these
13:16
three types of non-native
13:19
EMFs , because 5G is obviously
13:21
a radio frequency , but you mentioned briefly
13:23
magnetic and electric . So
13:25
just give a brief overview
13:27
of those three before we dive into
13:30
5G .
13:32
Yeah , so any electromagnetic wave
13:34
is going to have an electric field
13:36
component and a magnetic field component
13:38
and they're oscillating 90
13:40
degrees out of phase , or will they're
13:43
in phase 90 degrees with
13:45
each other ? So the frequency is
13:47
determining the amount of oscillation
13:50
. So , for example , wi-fi is
13:52
typically 2.4 gigahertz
13:54
, which is 2.4 billion wave cycles
13:57
or oscillations per second . So
13:59
that electric magnetic field component
14:01
is oscillating at that
14:03
speed and a microwave
14:05
works at a very similar
14:08
frequency and that oscillation
14:10
is how it's heating up your food , which is a great
14:12
example to discuss on
14:14
biological impacts is when you just look
14:16
at a microwave . But for
14:20
the most part when people measure EMFs
14:22
with an EMF meter , they
14:25
often see that there's an electric field component
14:27
, there's a magnetic field component of the
14:29
thing and they're
14:31
separated . And then there's a radio frequency
14:34
measurement as well . So radio
14:37
frequencies are still comprised
14:39
of the same exact components
14:41
. They're still electromagnetic waves , they're
14:43
just measured a bit differently . So
14:45
the radio frequency
14:47
is typically measured in a power
14:49
density reading and
14:52
that's taking both the magnetic and
14:54
the electric field component into
14:56
consideration . When you're measuring
14:59
the electric field of a power
15:01
outlet or transmission line , you're
15:03
typically isolating on just the electric
15:05
field component , which is measured in volts
15:08
per meter and then the magnetic field
15:10
component be measured separately in
15:12
typically micro-tessalus or milligalus
15:15
, which is a measure of magnetic flux density
15:17
actually . So it's just kind
15:19
of how things are measured . And the radio frequencies
15:22
are kind of lower in intensity
15:24
, so they take the power
15:27
measurement of them
15:29
to quantify them
15:31
. So that's pretty much the
15:33
difference and when you have an EMF meter
15:35
that's how they're typically separated
15:37
. But it's important to understand
15:39
that the electric field component is
15:42
a measure of voltage over
15:45
area , volts per meter . So
15:47
voltage and electric fields
15:49
are being created from
15:53
charges that are
15:55
just power , just voltage
15:57
in general , potential charge , potential
15:59
difference . So the best way
16:01
to create an analogy for this
16:04
is if you just have a lamp plugged
16:06
into your outlet but it's not turned on
16:08
, you will still have an electric field
16:10
being generated from that because there's
16:12
power to it . There would be no magnetic
16:15
field generated from the lamp itself
16:17
until it's turned on and current is
16:19
flying , because magnetic fields are generated from
16:22
moving charges and
16:24
that's described by current . So the
16:26
measurement of magnetic fields is taking
16:29
that into account . And then , yeah , radio frequencies
16:31
are measuring the power density . They're
16:34
typically far weaker , so they're
16:36
taking a power density component of it
16:38
. They're far weaker in intensity in terms of a
16:40
power perspective , but their photons
16:42
are far higher
16:45
energy than the
16:47
low frequency power
16:49
outlet electric and magnetic
16:51
fields . So it's a bit of nuance there , but I think that's
16:53
important for people to understand .
16:55
Yes , and I also want to make the point that
16:58
blue light isolated blue light
17:00
itself can be
17:02
conceived of as a non-native EMF
17:04
, because the light
17:06
that you get from the LED in your kitchen
17:08
as you're trying to maybe
17:11
cook dinner and it is not
17:14
blue light that is terrestrial
17:16
, the form that you would get from terrestrial
17:18
sunlight . So this idea
17:21
of non-native EMF
17:23
spans this visible and non-visible
17:25
spectrum and artificial
17:28
blue light , wi-fi , radio frequency 5G
17:30
, what we're about to talk about . They're
17:33
all equally foreign
17:35
to our biology . The
17:38
next point I want to make is that the
17:40
paradigm that we are
17:42
existing in is important
17:45
because To
17:47
use an understanding to
17:49
understand what's going on here , we need to be talking
17:52
in a language that relates to
17:54
biology , and
17:57
before the field of quantum biology there
18:00
wasn't I don't believe there was
18:02
a coherent way of framework
18:04
of understanding the health effects of non-native
18:06
EMF . If you're at
18:08
the level of biochemistry , if you're talking about merely
18:10
hormones and
18:13
hormonal action and biochemical
18:16
reactions , yes , you
18:18
can have a little bit of explanatory power , but
18:21
I really feel like the quantum biology
18:23
lens is what is actually needed
18:25
to really truly understand these biological
18:27
effects . Do you have any thoughts on that ?
18:31
Yeah , I think well
18:33
you could debate when quantum biology
18:35
really started . But I mean 100%
18:37
right , it's this overlap of
18:40
disciplines from a biophysics
18:42
perspective that's really needed to
18:45
understand , because electrical
18:48
engineers , physicists , they
18:50
understand electromagnetism , they understand technology
18:53
very well , but they don't understand anything about
18:55
biology . So they can't really make
18:57
the gap of knowledge that's
18:59
needed , the jump , I should say , to
19:02
use their knowledge on the technology
19:04
, the EM side of things , and then apply
19:07
that to how our body actually functions
19:09
. And then the same goes for
19:11
traditional people in the biology realm
19:13
. They don't have the physics or engineering background
19:15
to understand how this may have a detrimental effect
19:18
on our biology . And I see that
19:20
as one of the biggest gaps in
19:22
the world right now and that's why
19:24
I have taken , I guess you could say , a
19:26
stance , and I want to help
19:28
kind of communicate between
19:30
these two worlds , and I'm no expert
19:33
in biology or even the most knowledgeable
19:35
person from an engineering or EMF
19:37
perspective . There's PhD
19:40
physicists and electrical engineers
19:42
and then biologists who know way more than me , but almost
19:44
none of them pretty much none of them , talk
19:47
about or understand the relationship between
19:49
the two , and you really have to look at
19:51
some of the standout researchers
19:54
from the past 50 years , like
19:56
Robert O Becker and Gilbert Ling
19:58
and Alan Frey
20:01
and Emilio del Giudice and
20:03
a lot of these people that are kind
20:05
of like their anomalies , right , there's
20:08
a handful of them in the past
20:10
50 years . And then
20:12
, if you want to dive really into the quantum
20:15
side of things , well , it's also because quantum
20:17
physics has , you know
20:19
this , it's the black sheep
20:21
of science , right , like it's this . It's
20:23
this realm of science where we've
20:25
made such little progress
20:27
after a tremendous amount
20:30
of initial progress , because it's so
20:32
abstract , it's so mind
20:34
bending that you know , we're
20:36
kind of still like inching along
20:38
in terms of our understanding . So
20:40
it's , it's fascinating , but we
20:42
need more people focusing on these
20:45
disciplines and taking a holistic
20:47
perspective across , you know
20:49
, all of the areas of science
20:51
to . You know , push
20:53
, push it forward , but then simultaneously
20:56
, I think a big reason for that as well
20:58
is because of the centralized
21:01
clause of science and
21:03
academia that has really regulated
21:05
where funding goes , and I
21:07
talk about that quite a bit . So that's something
21:09
you know a more decentralized
21:11
lens or decentralized approach to
21:13
science , health and everything will
21:16
hopefully benefit going forward .
21:18
Yeah , and fundamentally , scientific breakthroughs
21:21
occur when intelligent people straddle
21:23
fields . They straddle fields of knowledge
21:25
and scientific endeavor and they make
21:27
connections that no one else has made . So
21:31
I agree that the future
21:33
is going to be more people using multiple
21:36
disciplinary approaches
21:38
in these fields , and I
21:41
really do share your optimism that
21:43
a decentralized approach is
21:45
how we're going to get there . But I'm
21:47
really insistent in the point
21:49
that we're anchoring this conversation in
21:52
physics and
21:54
biophysics and quantum biology , because
21:56
this is how we
21:58
push back on this idea
22:00
that these non-native EMFs
22:02
are benign or not harmful for
22:05
human health . So just
22:07
don't want to emphasize that point . So let's
22:09
talk about 5G and let's
22:11
talk about what it is and
22:14
how it's different
22:16
to existing sources of
22:18
radiofrequency pollution
22:21
maybe , if you want to use that word and
22:23
why it's so problematic .
22:26
Yeah for sure , 5g
22:29
has been heavily discussed . I feel like it
22:31
was very heavily discussed
22:34
around the COVID inception and then
22:36
it's kind of tapered off and it's actually
22:38
been surprising just doing a lot of research in
22:40
the past three to six months . There's
22:44
not a lot of new information out there and
22:46
that's because there's not a lot of people
22:48
really studying this . There's not a lot of people
22:50
talking about it anymore . But really
22:52
, what 5G is ? It's
22:54
fifth generation wireless technology . So
22:57
that's what the 5G stands for . It doesn't stand
22:59
for the frequency being used Like
23:01
. 5g does not mean 5 GHz
23:03
, although there are
23:05
some similarities there and we'll talk about that . And
23:08
every generation
23:10
we had 2G , we had 3G , we had 4G
23:13
, now we have 5G . The main
23:15
difference between each generation
23:17
and technology is really speed
23:20
and latency improvements and
23:22
that gives way to more
23:25
, I guess , usability
23:27
. From a technology perspective
23:30
. 4g was big
23:32
on streaming and hotspotting and now
23:34
5G is taking that to another
23:36
level and potentially setting
23:39
up the infrastructure for
23:41
smart cities , smart homes
23:43
, far more connected
23:45
devices to the internet , potentially
23:48
the bridge to autonomous vehicles
23:51
. That might be more of a 6G
23:53
thing , but it's basically pushing
23:55
the next level of speed and latency
23:57
and typically
24:00
it's around a factor of 10 improvement
24:02
from generation to generation
24:04
at least . So we're talking about
24:07
for 5G targeted peak
24:09
speeds of 20 Gbps
24:11
or 2.5 Gbps , and network latency is low as
24:13
1 ms , which is nothing , and
24:22
it's really the name
24:24
of the game . But every time they have
24:26
to do that , there's drastic
24:29
differences in the
24:31
infrastructure , the way they
24:34
are engineering the
24:36
radio frequency waves and
24:39
the whole 9 yard . So that's
24:41
where 5G really
24:44
stands out is how they
24:46
achieve these higher
24:48
speeds and lower latency times
24:50
to enable all of these new technologies and
24:54
4G coming from 3G
24:56
. It wasn't like that crazy of
24:58
a difference . I mean , they incorporated some
25:00
things . So 5G is tremendously different
25:03
from an infrastructure from
25:05
a frequency and
25:07
waveform perspective , and that's where
25:09
a lot of the engineering
25:12
and that's where a lot of the concern for our
25:14
health comes in , because we're charting
25:16
into newfound territories again
25:19
, once again .
25:21
Yeah , and you specifically mentioned in the past
25:23
this layering effect and how
25:25
you think about the harm of 5G
25:28
, which is the fact that we're
25:30
simply layering this new
25:32
technology
25:35
on top of existing , pre-existing
25:38
sources of radio frequency
25:40
emission , which we already rely
25:42
on in our daily life . So
25:44
talk about how
25:47
you conceive of that particularly .
25:50
Yeah , I mean every generation is really just
25:52
building on top of the previous generation
25:54
in terms of how it's structured
25:57
. So just because we have 5G
25:59
doesn't mean that 3G , 4g , infrastructure
26:02
and any of that is going
26:04
away . It's just kind of adding on
26:07
top . And especially for 5G
26:09
, it means it
26:11
really , by definition , is
26:13
a much more
26:15
targeted approach . It's definitely
26:17
not like the base layer of
26:20
communication Actually , the base layers
26:22
is probably going to stay very similar to
26:24
4G but then there's going to be
26:26
hot spots and just entirely
26:29
new engineering
26:31
design , entirely
26:33
new ways of communication that
26:35
we can get into . That makes it so different . But
26:38
yeah , it's just adding on top
26:40
. So there's no subtraction in
26:43
terms of our exposure , it's only
26:45
addition . And this is
26:47
resulting in just
26:49
an ever-increasing and up-and-to-the-right
26:51
exposure that's probably going to be
26:54
exponential for years to
26:56
come . And this is my biggest
26:58
concern is that we
27:00
can talk a lot about environmental toxic
27:02
exposures and , if you look across
27:04
the board , we're actually making pretty significant
27:07
headway in getting people
27:09
aware of food that
27:11
they eat . Exercise that's
27:13
been covered , even sunlight People
27:16
are more aware . But EMFs
27:19
mostly even from
27:21
a technology perspective , but also from
27:23
a blue light perspective is
27:25
just ever-increasing because our
27:27
use of technology is so
27:30
ubiquitous in society , and
27:32
it's also happening at a younger and younger age
27:34
, which is a major concern . So this
27:36
, to me , is the biggest environmental
27:39
toxin that has yet to be fully
27:41
addressed , and it's probably
27:43
never going to be , because it's propping
27:46
up our entire fiat economy , and
27:48
that's why I find
27:50
it so necessary to talk about and educate
27:53
about .
27:55
Yeah , it's the paradigm
27:58
that we're existing in is not incentivized to
28:00
talk about the harm of technology
28:03
which , as you say , is propping
28:05
up the function of society
28:08
and the
28:10
fact that telecommunications
28:13
networks rely
28:15
on quick transport
28:18
of data . There's always
28:20
going to be an ever pushing
28:22
incentive to develop this faster
28:25
and faster technology so you can walk
28:27
down the street streaming , you know , 4k
28:29
, 3d visual headset devices
28:32
. It's going to be relentless and
28:34
the as long as the incentive system
28:36
doesn't account for human
28:38
health impacts , then to
28:40
me that it's going to again can just
28:42
continue because there's
28:45
no incentive to prioritize
28:47
or consider human health . But before
28:50
we talk about the human and the biological
28:52
impacts of 5g , talk a little bit
28:54
about this beam and the beam forming
28:56
aspects of this
28:58
technology , because I think that's relevant
29:01
when we're talking about hot spots in
29:03
terms of where you don't want to live with
29:06
respect to 5g exposure .
29:10
Yeah , no , definitely , it's spot
29:12
on and yeah , that's why it's so important
29:14
what we do here . But yeah , why
29:16
is 5g so different from a technology perspective
29:18
? What ? What makes it able
29:21
to be so much faster ? And it comes
29:23
down to three things from the
29:25
electromagnetic waves that are used , and
29:27
then the infrastructure and and how they're using them . And
29:30
that's the frequency of the waves , what
29:32
you mentioned , the beam forming
29:34
of the waves and then how they're
29:36
setting up the antennas in
29:38
what's called a massive multiple
29:41
input , multiple output array . And
29:45
the frequency is really important
29:47
because that's what most people get , I
29:49
guess , interested in , that's what
29:51
most people are aware of and that's where we
29:53
can dive into the biology , biological
29:57
consequences of as well . So 5g
30:00
is a bit unique because it's using multiple
30:03
different frequency bands as
30:06
it pushes to use higher frequencies
30:08
. So the goal is
30:10
to use higher frequencies in
30:12
the millimeter wave spectra
30:14
of 20 to 50 gigahertz
30:17
. So this would be the first time that we're ever using
30:19
radio frequencies widespread
30:22
for public telecommunications
30:24
. In this frequency band it's
30:26
, you know , 10x higher than
30:29
where your Wi-Fi is that . So this is a pretty
30:31
big deal . And why do they
30:33
want to do that ? Because higher frequency allows for
30:36
higher data throughput . However
30:38
, there's a trade
30:40
off to be made with higher frequencies
30:43
, which is actually a good
30:45
thing for folks like us
30:47
, because it actually makes 5g
30:49
kind of easier to avoid , in my opinion
30:51
. But there's a lot of trade off because
30:53
of the higher frequency . There's
30:55
terrible range because there's high
30:58
free space loss due to
31:00
atmospheric gas absorption from
31:02
oxygen and water vapor , which we can talk
31:04
about , you know , foliage blockage
31:07
. There's precipitation
31:09
, attenuation , diffraction scattering
31:11
all across the board . Physical barriers
31:13
, even buildings , can
31:15
dissipate the 5g
31:18
millimeter waves quite a bit . So
31:20
really they need to
31:22
be much more clever with
31:24
the engineering in order to implement this . So
31:27
that's why , first off
31:29
, the millimeter waves probably only going to be used
31:31
in cities . But even
31:33
with all this being said , and that's
31:36
why you see so many towers
31:38
being installed , the repeater
31:40
towers this is a hallmark
31:42
of 5g . You maybe wonder
31:44
why they installing so many towers everywhere , like
31:46
literally every couple
31:48
hundred meters , few hundred , like every couple
31:51
city blocks , and that's because some of the signals
31:53
they literally can't go further than that . So
31:55
they need a constant tower
31:57
, repeater tower , to keep
31:59
the signal going . So that's the millimeter
32:02
wave aspect . We're talking again 20 to
32:04
50 gigahertz and that's
32:06
called the high band frequency range
32:09
for 5g . They have
32:11
a mid band and then they also have
32:13
a low band . So the low band frequency
32:16
is kind of in the , you know , 800
32:18
megahertz to one
32:21
one and a half gigahertz range , which is where
32:23
actually most of our
32:25
cellular communication is being used
32:28
today for 4g or
32:30
was being used for 4g . So this
32:32
is kind of almost the same stuff . They're
32:35
just calling it 5g and implementing
32:37
a slightly different way of using
32:39
that , but it's very similar to 4g . And
32:42
then there's mid band , which is kind of
32:44
this in between of like two to four
32:46
gigahertz for cellular communication , and
32:49
this is , I think , as of right
32:52
now , the most heavily used
32:54
, or at least by some of the carriers are trying to
32:56
use mid band frequency more and
32:58
more . And this is like the
33:00
sweet spot between performance and
33:02
, you know , range , I guess you
33:04
could say . And that's kind
33:06
of in that two , three , three and
33:08
a half gigahertz range . Now again , we
33:11
have used this frequency for
33:13
things like Wi-Fi , bluetooth , microwaves
33:15
are all at like 2.4 , 2.5
33:17
gigahertz . So it's not entirely different
33:19
. But again , you have to remember that cell
33:22
phones are , you know , the
33:24
largest source of RF radiation
33:27
by far on a daily basis
33:29
. They're much stronger than Wi-Fi . They're
33:31
, you know , 100 times plus stronger
33:34
than Bluetooth . You know your microwave
33:36
oven , you know you think that often . So
33:38
it's a big deal when it's a cell
33:40
phone bumping up a frequency and
33:43
thus energy level , and we
33:45
know that we're pretty much inseparable from
33:48
our cell phones . That's kind of
33:50
the difference in the frequency , but again
33:52
, there's a lot of these limitations
33:54
in terms of the range
33:57
, in terms of how far it can go . So
33:59
the engineers had to you know , they had to come up with
34:01
a completely different way of implementing
34:04
this , and what they're using
34:06
is called beamforming . So
34:08
4G is a very omnidirectional
34:11
wave . So the antenna is spitting
34:13
out the 4G signal
34:15
pretty much like 360 degrees
34:18
all around , all the time . There's
34:20
no specificity of it , it's
34:22
just there . And 5G
34:25
they can't really do that because
34:28
it's not going to work as well . There's
34:30
going to be a lot of signal interference , there's going to be
34:32
a lot of range issues . So they're
34:34
using what's called beamforming , which
34:36
is when they stack beams
34:38
for precision and higher
34:40
power and then they use a targeted
34:43
wave that's very narrow
34:45
in its diameter to
34:48
the receiver . So your cell phone is
34:50
the receiver , so if you have 5G
34:52
on , you're making a call . That wave
34:54
is basically just coming right at
34:56
you , right at your cell phone , and
34:59
if you're 50 feet away
35:02
or something like that , you wouldn't be
35:04
exposed to this 5G signal that
35:06
if I'm standing 50 feet away from
35:08
you , you make a call , I'm not being exposed
35:10
to that unless I'm in the
35:12
line of sight of the wave exactly . So
35:15
that's kind of the difference and it overcomes
35:17
some of the challenges with higher frequency
35:20
waves because they can be made
35:22
finer and
35:25
more precise , increasing that frequency
35:27
, but the result is they're
35:30
far , far higher power because
35:32
of that . And then the infrastructure
35:35
that I mentioned earlier a
35:37
massive multiple input , multiple
35:39
output arrays is basically
35:42
taking antenna arrays operating
35:46
in identical conditions to
35:48
create that very precise
35:50
narrow beam which targets the
35:53
end user directly and
35:55
that also helps . It kind
35:58
of works hand in hand with the beam forming
36:00
to be able to use
36:03
these higher frequencies . And
36:05
the massive or the multiple
36:07
input , multiple output was used in 4G , but just
36:09
not at the scale it's being used
36:12
for 5G and
36:14
this is kind of how
36:17
they're going about doing it , and to me
36:19
it's a blessing and a curse
36:21
, because if you do live
36:23
in a city and you're using
36:25
5G and everyone around
36:27
you is using 5G , you're going to be in
36:30
that path of the higher powered
36:32
beam , that higher frequency wave
36:34
. You're going to be exposed to that unavoidably
36:38
. However , if you don't and
36:41
you make a deliberate action to
36:43
not have 5G on your phone , to
36:45
live in the suburbs or in rural areas
36:47
, you're pretty much not going to be
36:49
exposed to 5G because if you don't
36:52
let it in , it's not going to get into
36:54
your house or to your phone or anything like
36:56
that . So to
36:58
me it really creates a completely
37:01
different scenario for folks living
37:04
in major cities and
37:06
being in downtown areas , being in airports
37:08
, being in entertainment venues , like
37:11
large groups of people
37:13
all on 5G all
37:15
at the same time . To me it's like
37:17
a major , major increase
37:20
in exposure compared to , you
37:22
know , if you're just living in the suburbs
37:24
and have a couple neighbors and most
37:26
of you are using 4G and they're
37:29
also never going to probably roll out millimeter
37:31
waves in the middle of nowhere
37:34
. So that's kind of the difference
37:36
and , yeah , just looking
37:38
at what they want to do with
37:40
smart cities and the fact that millimeter
37:42
waves haven't even been rolled out yet , like
37:45
really nobody's really
37:47
using them . It's only been kind of like tests
37:49
here still in 2024
37:51
. It's actually been underwhelming
37:53
, for I think the telecom companies
37:55
Like , I think people are actually
37:57
pretty disappointed in how much
38:01
millimeter waves have been used , but
38:03
it's almost giving folks more
38:05
time to get out of the city and
38:09
escape before it gets really bad . And
38:11
then you can look into what's coming
38:14
with things like 6G and
38:16
just the infrastructure of autonomous vehicles
38:18
, smart cities , smart homes , smart everything
38:21
. I mean I just really there's
38:24
no way I think living in a city
38:26
after the next
38:28
couple years will be a net
38:30
positive for your health at
38:32
all . It just won't even be possible
38:35
.
38:36
It's an interesting concept to think that
38:38
cities are going to be increasingly
38:41
inhabitable from a health point of view , compared
38:43
to , say , new York
38:45
in the 1980s , compared to
38:47
New York in 2026 . It's
38:50
going to be a different kettle of fish , based
38:53
on the EMF environment
38:55
, based on the density of
38:57
these repeater towers and
39:00
based on everything that we're talking
39:02
about . So it's
39:04
a concept that I don't
39:06
think a lot of people are thinking about , which
39:09
is , as technology advances
39:11
, the degree to which your
39:13
health could be impacted is
39:16
also basically accelerating , and it
39:18
needs to do more and more to mitigate or
39:21
to avoid those impacts . A
39:23
question about the device
39:25
usage . With 5G , say
39:28
, I have a phone that's 5G enabled
39:30
. If I turn off the 5G
39:32
functionality and decide to opt
39:35
only for 4G communications , am
39:37
I preventing that beam from essentially
39:39
being invited into my apartment or home ? Is
39:42
that how it works ?
39:43
From my understanding it should be . I
39:46
don't see why not , because if you're turning off
39:48
the 5G network , then
39:51
, yeah , your phone is not acting as the receiver
39:53
. So , again , it's
39:55
hard to measure and they don't really even
39:57
use the millimeter waves yet . But I
40:00
do that . I've been doing that for I
40:02
don't know a year and a half now before I even took a deep
40:04
dive because I'm like might as well , and
40:06
why do you ? Don't even need these download
40:08
speeds and pretty much the only time I'm
40:10
even using cellular data
40:13
is if I'm not at my home
40:15
and I really need to go on the internet or
40:17
something , if I'm traveling . But
40:19
on a day-to-day basis I'm almost
40:21
never using cellular data . So
40:24
something I recommend everyone do Even
40:27
if you just have Wi-Fi at your house
40:29
, turn your phone on airplane mode and
40:32
then only use the Wi-Fi . Why would
40:34
you have both on ? But
40:37
definitely , yeah , turn the 5G off . I
40:40
don't see why you would need it and
40:42
especially given the targeted approach
40:44
to the wave , I would , yeah
40:46
, I definitely recommend keeping that off .
40:49
You made a point about the absorption
40:52
of certain frequencies
40:55
by oxygen in the atmosphere
40:57
and in your podcast with Dr Jacuz
40:59
which I invite everyone to have a listen to if
41:01
you want to delve into the technicals
41:03
even more than this podcast he
41:06
mentioned that there is possibility
41:09
that the absorption of
41:11
these terrestrially generated
41:13
non-native EMFs is being
41:16
absorbed in the atmosphere and therefore
41:18
affecting the
41:21
basically the penetration of
41:23
the solar radiation
41:25
to the ground , implying
41:28
that if you live in an area that has
41:30
a massive density of EMF emissions say
41:33
Los Angeles , california
41:35
then it might even
41:37
be possible that you're getting less
41:39
ultraviolet yield in
41:42
that area compared to somewhere
41:44
without the same amount of EMF
41:47
basically pollution in
41:50
the area . Can you speak to that point
41:52
?
41:53
Yeah , it's a really interesting hypothesis
41:55
and I think it makes sense . Again
41:58
, it's kind of all just like things we
42:00
theorize . But I mentioned
42:03
as well about the fundamental
42:05
characteristics of 5G and why they
42:07
are so challenging from
42:10
an engineering perspective and it's because
42:12
they're extremely high dissipation
42:14
and absorption from atmospheric
42:16
gases like oxygen and water
42:18
vapor , and specifically
42:20
at certain frequencies like
42:22
24 GHz for water
42:25
vapor , 60 GHz for oxygen
42:27
, and it goes up from there
42:29
into the
42:31
150 GHz range
42:33
and then you can approach the Terahertz range and
42:36
it keeps increasing , which for 6G
42:38
is even scarier as we continue to push that
42:40
higher and higher . So it's
42:42
a major deterrent for these technologies
42:44
and why they have to use or
42:47
why they had to engineer the beams the way they
42:49
did . But yeah , I certainly
42:51
think it's plausible because it's all like
42:53
a competition for electromagnetic
42:56
waves and if the
42:58
atmospheric gases are kind
43:00
of absorbing all of that
43:02
electromagnetic energy
43:04
from 5G , from millimeter waves
43:07
, because once they're
43:09
bouncing around the atmosphere
43:12
potentially
43:14
that could lead to lower
43:16
UV yield and I think
43:18
it's very plausible . I
43:21
think in general it's just going to
43:23
be a concern from
43:25
all facets of how that
43:28
affects our biology and
43:31
to me . I'm even concerned
43:33
about what is the impact
43:36
on the oxygen and the water
43:38
in our biology , because
43:41
obviously those are extremely important
43:43
for our mitochondria , for
43:46
cellular health across the
43:48
board . So if these
43:50
gases are absorbing
43:52
electromagnetic waves in
43:54
this frequency range at such a high
43:56
level , or even a far higher
43:58
level compared to , say , 3g
44:01
and 4G waves , what is that
44:03
doing to the oxygen
44:05
and water in our biology ? And
44:08
that's where I get really concerned
44:11
. And again goes back
44:13
to the argument that non-ionizing
44:15
radiation has an effect
44:18
on our biology . But we just don't
44:20
really understand it . And
44:22
it's not at the same level that sunlight
44:24
is having on our biology . Because photon
44:27
, you know exciting electrons
44:30
it's a very specific biological
44:33
process and interaction where
44:35
the energy level has to be
44:37
exact to excite an electron
44:39
. So now we have all these photons
44:42
that are lower energy levels . Now
44:44
, people that have no understanding
44:46
of biology would say that they would have zero
44:48
impact . But then how come ? There's thousands
44:50
of research studies showing impact . And
44:53
then you can simply go back to the microwave
44:56
, right , like , how does a microwave heat
44:59
our food ? Because
45:01
the 2.45 gigahertz oscillation
45:03
or frequency
45:06
is jostling the water
45:08
molecules in the food and
45:10
that's due to the dipole moment of the
45:12
water , right ? Well , what is happening
45:15
in our body . What is our body
45:17
made of ? You know , 60% , 75% water
45:19
, and that
45:21
, to me , is the more important area
45:24
to really dive down and it's
45:26
something that everybody in the central
45:28
eyes , like any of these YouTube physicists
45:30
, these people with big platforms , they dismiss
45:33
right off the bat and it's fair , but
45:36
they're just not considering the entire other
45:38
aspect of how our biology functions , from
45:41
an oscillation , from a frequency , from
45:43
an EMF perspective , that it
45:45
doesn't necessarily have to be the direct
45:47
route of , like photon , excitation
45:49
of electrons .
45:51
Yeah , and I'm going to single out Neil deGrasse , tyson
45:54
and I told my god yeah I recorded
45:57
with Scott Zimmerman again recently , who's
45:59
a an optics engineer and
46:01
an expert in the effect of in
46:04
near infrared and infrared light , on on biology
46:06
, and Neil deGrasse Tyson , basically
46:08
, was smugly
46:11
and self congratulating
46:13
the progress of human technology
46:15
, that we managed to create a
46:18
light and popularized light that gets rid
46:20
of this highly inefficient band
46:22
of sunlight called
46:25
infrared , because we don't need it and it's unnecessary
46:27
. When he is , you know , it's a bit done
46:30
in Kruger moment , because he has just no concept
46:32
of how critical infrared light
46:34
is for mitochondrial biology and melatonin
46:36
production and and
46:39
all these things and and the arrogance
46:41
of not knowing what he doesn't know is that's
46:43
the most galling part of it all . I mean , have
46:45
some humble you know some some humility
46:48
about it . But yeah
46:50
, that's the problem with centralized science and , if
46:52
you are , funding relies on having
46:54
a certain set of beliefs
46:56
or asking a certain set of bounded questions
46:58
, and then that's what's going to get
47:00
researched and that's what's going to get published . So
47:02
and Maybe let's talk
47:05
about the health effects of of
47:07
radio frequency and 5g . How
47:10
do you think about what is happening
47:12
? And and we'll come back to this idea of
47:14
the effect of them on the water pickers
47:16
I'm gonna make a point about that , but talk
47:19
about in general what's going on with
47:21
health and 5g .
47:24
Yeah , the Neil deGrasse Tyson stuff
47:26
is is so frustrating . I don't know why I
47:28
always get recommended these clowns on like
47:30
YouTube . That's just like always in my
47:32
feed and I watched some last night
47:34
on On microwaves and him explaining
47:36
to Joe Rogan about how a microwave
47:39
is like completely safe and it's just frequency
47:41
, it's just oscillation and it's
47:44
so funny . But you know you don't know
47:46
what you don't know . But when you're arrogant about
47:48
it , Yep , that's
47:50
how it goes , and .
47:51
But the reason why I take such exception
47:54
is because if you have that attitude of medicine , then
47:56
people get hurt . Oh , yeah
47:58
. I remember the . You
48:00
know , one of my most Confrontational
48:03
clinical learning experiences when I was a medical student
48:05
was a , an old surgeon and he was asking
48:08
me a question and I Came up with some
48:10
wild guess of kind of
48:12
almost an arrogant guess , pretending that
48:14
I knew more than I did . And he pulled
48:16
me up and he said to me if
48:18
you don't know , then say you don't know
48:20
because and we all make
48:23
mistakes and Everyone makes makes
48:25
mistakes , no matter what your level is but if you're
48:27
not acknowledging the limits of your knowledge , then that's
48:29
how people get hurt and that's how Adverse
48:31
events happen . So after that point
48:34
and and I had a concept of it before
48:36
but even after that point I've been Incredibly
48:39
mindful of when I don't know something
48:41
because and that is when we can do
48:43
E atrogenic harm as doctors and , I think collectively
48:46
, scientists too we really
48:48
have to be mindful of the limits of our
48:50
knowledge .
48:52
Yeah , yeah , but the problem is that they think they
48:54
know . So , like you said , it's even more harmful
48:57
. But yeah , it's , it's sad
48:59
, but you know , we can try and just keep trying
49:02
to educate folks and bring them over and
49:04
it's Getting right into the health stuff
49:06
. For me what's crazy is that there's
49:08
so much data , ever all these centralized
49:10
people are so evidence-based but
49:12
they're ignoring so much evidence . I
49:14
mean , there is dr Henry
49:16
lie has 2500
49:18
studies on the effects of non-AtoB
49:21
MF exposure on biology
49:23
, on our biology well , or
49:25
on the biology of life on this planet
49:27
, and a lot
49:29
of that is Based in
49:31
the radio frequency range . And
49:33
you know , I always point to this is like the first
49:35
thing that I always tell people is like this guy
49:38
has a database of like 2500
49:40
studies that are showing harmful effects . Like
49:42
80 to 90 percent of them
49:44
are showing a harmful biological effects
49:46
. Most of them are a quite
49:48
fair bit , have far lower
49:51
Power intensities
49:53
than the safety limits and
49:55
we can get into that that are
49:58
imposed by the United States , australia
50:00
, most Western countries . So that's a huge
50:02
concern . But this is all ignored
50:04
. Every study has been like debunked for
50:07
maybe one specific reason . But
50:09
when there's such an overwhelming body
50:11
of evidence . You know how can you
50:13
possibly ignore this ? And
50:15
this goes back to the children's
50:17
health defense which
50:19
Robert F Kennedy Jr is a part of presiding
50:23
attorneys suing the FCC
50:25
for their outdated guidelines on
50:27
Radio frequency Limits
50:31
which they haven't updated since the mid 90s
50:33
basically since like my entire
50:35
lifetime and they were set even before
50:37
then . So it's pretty crazy
50:40
. But you know , when you talk about 5g
50:42
, there's very limited research
50:44
on on 5g and we'll get into that and
50:46
you kind of have to extrapolate . But
50:48
if there's so many studies on 2g
50:51
, 3g or just similar frequency
50:53
, radio frequency or radio frequency radiation
50:55
exposure , you know you could
50:57
make the educated assumption that
50:59
5g is going to be Similarly
51:01
harmful or if not more harmful
51:04
, due to its higher energy photons
51:06
and directed high-power beam that
51:09
we just discussed . So yeah , dr Henry
51:11
lie , highly recommend checking his work . He
51:14
, you know , has this collection and the summary
51:16
. Let's see . You know , 90%
51:19
of over 300 studies
51:21
that looked at the effects of
51:23
radio frequency on oxidative
51:26
stress found significant biological
51:28
effects and 96%
51:30
of those studies that had a
51:32
specific absorption rate below 0.4
51:35
watts per kilogram found
51:37
significant effects . So that's one
51:40
fourth the SAR
51:42
limit that is imposed in the United
51:44
States and almost no cell
51:46
phones are below 0.4 watts
51:48
per kilogram . Some are better
51:51
than others , but the limit is
51:53
1.6 watts per kilogram . So
51:57
that's one I always point to . One
51:59
we talked about in the Jack Cruz podcast
52:01
is the national toxicology
52:04
program study , or the NTP study
52:06
. And again , what dr
52:08
Henry lies work before I talk about NTP
52:10
is big on oxidative stress
52:12
. It's big on , you know , the jet , genetic
52:15
effects , gene expression
52:17
, neurological effects , cardiovascular
52:20
effects and then reproduction and
52:22
development , or , you know
52:24
, fertility . So these are the big areas
52:27
where EMF has a tremendous impact
52:29
on our biology is , you know
52:31
, at the mitochondrial level , at
52:33
the cardiovascular level , the neurological
52:36
level and the reproductive system
52:38
levels . Why ? Because those are
52:41
the most energy intensive areas
52:43
of our body . That's where we have
52:45
the most mitochondria , it's
52:47
the biggest priority , and we know
52:49
that mitochondrial function is , you
52:51
know , based in electromagnetism . So
52:54
it's no surprise to me why
52:57
these are kind of the most common
52:59
side effects and also the most common
53:01
, you know , chronic diseases as well in
53:04
Modern society . But getting
53:06
to the NTP study , this one is
53:09
really interesting and again it's impossible
53:11
to ignore because they spent 10
53:14
years and 30 million dollars studying
53:16
, studying cell phone radiation
53:19
of 2g and 3g origin in
53:23
the Frequency range of 700
53:25
megahertz to 2.7
53:27
gigahertz on rats and mice
53:29
, specifically looking at like cancer
53:32
and and DNA damage
53:34
risks . And yeah , they found . Well
53:37
, they exposed these rats and mice for
53:39
for two years , around nine hours a
53:41
day , and they found clear evidence
53:43
of association with tumors
53:46
in the hearts of rats . Some
53:48
evidence of association again you know how like
53:50
this wording works with association and
53:52
evidence In with tumors
53:55
and in the brains and adrenal glands , significant
53:58
increase in DNA damage in the
54:00
brains and blood cells
54:02
of rice and or sorry
54:04
, mice and rats . And yeah
54:07
, this was , this has
54:09
been out for a few years now and
54:11
pretty much is a big deal In
54:14
terms of cementing the cancer
54:16
risk and DNA damage risk of cell phone
54:18
radiation . But again , you'll always
54:20
have your Detractors of
54:22
the study saying you know , the power
54:24
intensity was , you know , far higher
54:27
than what we're exposed
54:29
to on a daily basis , which isn't entirely
54:31
true . It's like it was like slightly higher
54:33
. So then there's another
54:35
Study called the Ramazzini
54:37
study , which was done in Italy by this Institute
54:40
, that basically wanted to replicate
54:42
what the NTP study
54:45
did , except at a lower
54:47
power intensity . So far field
54:49
exposure to radio frequencies instead of near
54:51
field , using 1.8
54:54
gigahertz , same , you know , rats being
54:56
used looking at cancer tumor
54:59
risk , and they found also
55:02
a statistically significant increase
55:04
in incident of heart Schwannomas
55:07
. And that's at a lower
55:09
, frequent , or sorry , a lower power intensity
55:12
. And Again , it
55:14
basically just reiterated the findings of the
55:16
NTP study . So you know
55:18
, I Don't understand
55:20
how , even if the power intensity is
55:22
like slightly higher , even if the duration
55:24
might be slightly longer it depends how
55:26
much you use a cell phone how
55:29
could you ignore this body of evidence
55:31
? How could you , you know , be
55:33
so confident that there's no health
55:35
risk when there is
55:37
clear evidence of , you know
55:40
, increased cancer risk , increased DNA
55:42
damage , reproductive issues , neurological
55:45
issues , oxidative stress , and
55:47
even if it's not exactly Studied
55:50
in how you would use it or
55:52
you know how often you would use it
55:54
, there's clear evidence that this
55:56
stuff is very detrimental for biology
55:59
of mammals and there are some studies
56:01
in humans which are more epidemiological based
56:03
. So we know the issues there . And why
56:06
would you not at least want to use
56:08
Caution with technology
56:11
? That's all we're really asking . Is that
56:13
be more skeptical , skeptical
56:16
, and then maybe we could have even better research
56:18
, or maybe we could even design
56:20
technology , engineer technology
56:22
in a better way
56:24
so that the radiation is
56:26
lower and we don't even have to have these debates
56:29
. We could just have safer
56:31
technology . But that would be a very
56:33
inconvenient truth for a lot
56:35
of people and that's why all this research has
56:37
been swept under the rug , even though
56:39
to me it's pretty much undeniable
56:41
.
56:43
Yeah , and I'm going to quickly read out
56:45
one of the abstracts
56:47
of one of the papers in Henry
56:49
Lye's database and
56:51
I'm also going to include this link so
56:53
that people can read this . But
56:58
in his list of papers
57:00
that include the effects of radiofrequency
57:04
radiation on oxidative stress . So
57:06
it seems like most of these studies are done
57:08
in rats and mice and
57:10
that makes sense because they are an animal
57:13
model , they're easy to experiment
57:15
on and you can address
57:17
more hard endpoints . So just
57:20
one of the titles of one of these papers is
57:22
comparison of effects of 2.4
57:24
gigahertz Wi-Fi and mobile phone exposure
57:27
on human placenta and cord blood . Oh
57:29
, sorry that one is that one is on
57:31
an extractive of cord blood and
57:33
what they found in conclusion ? The results
57:35
of this study indicated that mobile phone exposure
57:38
during pregnancy could have important potential
57:40
to cause oxidative stress and DNA damage
57:42
in cord blood and placenta . The results
57:44
of this study also indicated that combined effects of
57:46
Wi-Fi plus mobile phone exposure have
57:49
a higher potential to cause synergistic
57:51
harmful effects . I mean , if
57:53
we're thinking about complications
57:55
that occur in pregnancy from the
57:57
first trimester , first
57:59
trimester , miscarriage , all
58:01
the way through to third trimester
58:04
, preeclampsia , all
58:06
kinds of complications
58:09
that occur you wonder to what degree
58:11
, that simple oxidative stress from
58:14
mom sitting with a 5G enabled
58:16
device next to the Wi-Fi router
58:18
, next to a pregnant belly , what that could be having
58:21
. So the fact is that there
58:23
is a lot of evidence in this list
58:25
and even if it is in
58:28
rats or non-human
58:31
mammals , I think we need
58:33
to use this precautionary principle
58:35
to realize that it's
58:38
going to be having this similar effect in humans
58:40
. And the key point that I want to make
58:42
is that an absence of evidence of harm is
58:44
not evidence of absence of harm . So
58:46
just because we lack a specific
58:49
gospel chiseled
58:51
tablet carried down
58:53
from the mountain by Moses saying
58:56
that 5G is harmful , we
58:58
don't need that . We can infer the
59:00
damage by extrapolating the
59:02
harmful effects of lower frequency
59:05
technology in
59:07
mammals and then realizing
59:09
, well , if you jack it up in the
59:11
form of 5G , then it's just going to have a
59:13
more damaging effect . But
59:17
the point here also , tristan , is that it's
59:19
common for industry to use obfuscating techniques
59:21
, and
59:23
the seminal book on this tactics
59:25
was Merchants of Doubt , where
59:28
it explained how the tobacco industry
59:30
was using specific techniques
59:33
regarding this
59:36
, creating this idea that there's a
59:38
lack of consensus , and they used that
59:40
to kind of obfuscate what was going
59:42
on and dilute out the message
59:44
. But as for anyone
59:47
who is concerned about their health , I agree
59:49
with you that there's more than enough evidence from
59:51
an oxidative stress point of view
59:53
in these mitochondrial rich organs that
59:55
we need to be being very , very
59:57
careful with our exposures .
1:00:00
Yeah , it's just like crazy
1:00:02
. In my EMF 101
1:00:05
course I go over some of these studies
1:00:07
and there's reviews on Wi-Fi
1:00:09
, there's reviews all over the place
1:00:11
. It's just so undeniable and
1:00:13
, like you said , the obfuscation
1:00:16
is real and
1:00:19
it's like if we had a safety limit of
1:00:21
like 8
1:00:23
or 10 alcoholic drinks per day and
1:00:25
then all the research that
1:00:27
people are kind
1:00:29
of condemning as not convincing
1:00:32
is because it's at 11
1:00:34
or 12 drinks per day and then
1:00:36
5 to 7 drinks per day is no issue , and
1:00:39
there is research that is way lower
1:00:41
than the safety limits as well . So I mentioned
1:00:43
that and you can look at the database
1:00:46
there . I want to give credit
1:00:48
to these researchers as well Dr
1:00:50
Martin Powell , dr Henry Lye actually
1:00:53
, dr Henry Lye , I'm pretty sure got in
1:00:55
some issues with
1:00:57
industry , because he was
1:01:00
just a guy who stumbled upon this and was like
1:01:02
oh my God , this is insane that
1:01:04
there's so much evidence and nobody's talking about this
1:01:06
, and I'm pretty sure he got
1:01:08
some , you know , knocked
1:01:11
on his door . Yeah , he got some
1:01:13
knocks on his door because he exposed
1:01:15
a lot of this and it is overwhelming . And then
1:01:17
, yeah , you get people like RFK talking
1:01:19
about on Joe Rogan , and still there's
1:01:22
nothing . There's winning
1:01:24
lawsuits and there's still no
1:01:27
change . And again , if I know
1:01:29
, like Jack said this on our podcast and
1:01:31
people probably would agree , you know , if
1:01:33
there was better warning labels
1:01:36
, if there was better education , it
1:01:39
would be . At least you know they did their due
1:01:41
diligence of letting us know . But acting
1:01:43
in this state of ignorance is wild . And
1:01:46
they actually do have manufacturing warning
1:01:48
labels on all cell phones that
1:01:51
you should never hold them up against your body
1:01:53
directly and that you should always use hands-free
1:01:55
speakerphone or wired headphones
1:01:57
, but they don't publicize that
1:01:59
and nobody really takes that with
1:02:02
any merit . So it's just , it's
1:02:05
delusion on all levels .
1:02:07
Yeah , and not only the funding is not there
1:02:09
to research human effects , but I wonder
1:02:11
to what degree some
1:02:14
of these studies would be confounded by the fact
1:02:16
that even your controls are going to be exposed
1:02:18
to a fair bit of background
1:02:21
radiation . And you know Tucker Goodrich makes
1:02:23
the point when he's specifically
1:02:25
talking about the harm of seed oils is , if
1:02:27
you compare the harm , hypothetically
1:02:29
speaking , if you compare someone
1:02:32
smoking two packs of cigarettes a day to
1:02:34
someone smoking five cigarettes a day , but
1:02:37
the threshold effect is , you know , one cigarette a day , then
1:02:40
how are you going to be able to necessarily detect
1:02:42
a difference between those groups ? So
1:02:44
I think there's
1:02:47
a class of people that seem to
1:02:49
lab called intellectual , yet idiots . And
1:02:51
if anyone hasn't read the Black Swan by
1:02:54
an assim to lab or any of the
1:02:56
same clubs work , I would highly recommend reading it . But
1:02:58
there's a class of people who essentially
1:03:01
believe that an absence
1:03:03
of evidence equals the evidence of absence
1:03:05
. And they're the type of people
1:03:08
you know , the kid that
1:03:10
sits at the front of the class and putting
1:03:12
this hand up all the time who are
1:03:15
enforcing this , these
1:03:19
narratives about you know it's safe
1:03:21
to continue , and not only
1:03:23
with with EMFs , but a
1:03:26
whole bunch of other topics , like
1:03:28
the harm of glyphosate in health
1:03:30
and maybe some other topics
1:03:32
that we're not going to talk about on this podcast . But
1:03:37
the fact is that when you conflate
1:03:39
those key points , when you think
1:03:41
that just because we don't have some degree
1:03:44
arbitrary degree of evidence quality
1:03:46
and maybe that's an randomized control trial
1:03:49
before we can act , then you
1:03:51
really missing a
1:03:53
lot and you're potentially
1:03:55
missing massive harm and
1:03:57
you just to wait for some kind of
1:03:59
piece of evidence that will satisfy
1:04:02
you . So I just want to make that
1:04:04
point that when it comes to
1:04:06
reproductive health and transgenerational
1:04:08
epigenetics , the , in
1:04:10
my mind , the threshold
1:04:12
of evidence to act is
1:04:14
so low that
1:04:17
it's this is all moot . We have
1:04:19
more than enough evidence to
1:04:21
act based on the fact
1:04:23
that when you screw this up , you
1:04:26
can have these transgenerational effects .
1:04:30
Yeah , yeah , I mean there's no
1:04:33
incentive to change anything
1:04:35
, so it doesn't even matter . We could
1:04:37
have a thousand more studies and I don't think it
1:04:39
would matter until until
1:04:41
there's lawsuits . There's people suing
1:04:43
people and there's like extreme . I
1:04:45
mean , you see it . You mentioned the glyphosate . You see
1:04:47
it with with that , because the only
1:04:49
people that have been successful
1:04:51
in that realm is the non
1:04:54
Hodgkin's lymphoma with the at
1:04:56
home glyphosate use . But because
1:04:58
of all the confounding factors in
1:05:01
you know , ag use of herbicides
1:05:03
and pesticides , there's no way they can prove
1:05:06
causality , so there's no chance
1:05:08
it would ever be banned in like a judicial
1:05:10
setting . And yeah , it's the problem
1:05:12
with everything . And you could argue that any research
1:05:15
, you know , you see all these research studies
1:05:17
. You see , like the Lane Norton's and those
1:05:20
folks of the world talking about all these studies Well
1:05:22
, are they controlling for EMFs
1:05:24
and blue light and all of this stuff ? No , so
1:05:27
, like we always say , you know you
1:05:29
could pry , toss out 90 to 95%
1:05:31
of research , but you have to , you
1:05:33
know , pick and choose where some
1:05:36
of the information is helpful and realize
1:05:38
the greater picture , the greater flaws
1:05:41
with , with centralized science .
1:05:43
Yeah , and that that you know
1:05:45
. They know , and that's a great example of someone who
1:05:48
is semiopically focused on
1:05:50
, you know , what is written in a , in a piece
1:05:52
of research and
1:05:54
is unable to critically appraise the
1:05:57
, the drawbacks or the methodological
1:06:01
flaws and or see things
1:06:03
in the context of , I think , an
1:06:05
ancestral lens , because if you assume
1:06:08
that whatever we evolved with , what
1:06:10
is an sexually appropriate , is biologically
1:06:13
necessary and programmed , then
1:06:15
I think that provides , in the absence
1:06:17
of certainty , that provides you a very
1:06:19
good fallback , heuristic about what
1:06:22
to do and how to expose ourselves
1:06:24
to and what to avoid exposing ourselves to . But
1:06:26
this intellectual yet idiot mindset
1:06:29
which is scientism
1:06:31
, it's scientism and , to
1:06:33
make that point , it's the almost worship
1:06:36
of of science is this kind of quasi
1:06:38
religious practice without critically
1:06:41
and very skeptically
1:06:43
combing through it ? You
1:06:45
were just . You know you're misleading yourself
1:06:47
and misleading others . So I really like
1:06:49
your approach , tristan , I think we're on the exact
1:06:51
same page about the limits of knowledge
1:06:54
, the limits of science and what
1:06:56
should be our default position in the absence
1:06:58
of knowledge , and that's the evolutionary
1:07:00
principle in my mind .
1:07:03
Yeah , I mean we just
1:07:05
yield caution , right , like I mean anyone
1:07:07
listening to this . It's your life
1:07:09
, like you know . That's the decentralized model as
1:07:11
well . Like we , I'm not going to tell you what to do
1:07:14
. You can use your technology however you want , but
1:07:16
you should be entitled to having
1:07:18
some sort of information that
1:07:21
this may be harmful , and then you
1:07:23
can read the research and make your own conclusions
1:07:26
about what's best for you and your family . But at
1:07:28
least understanding that
1:07:30
this exists is very
1:07:32
important .
1:07:33
Before , and thank you for
1:07:35
the listeners for listening to us both , matt , on
1:07:37
this , on this very important topic . But
1:07:40
maybe , before we move on about some practical
1:07:42
steps to mitigating 5G , let's talk
1:07:44
about this mitochondria , and I
1:07:47
want to make the point in a way that maybe
1:07:49
my medical colleagues who listen to this podcast
1:07:52
can relate to , which is the
1:07:54
fact that radio frequency alters
1:07:56
the spin of
1:07:59
hydrogen and the
1:08:01
reason why they will
1:08:03
in one way that they can understand
1:08:05
, that is the MRI machine and the fact
1:08:07
that using a radio frequency pulse
1:08:09
basically causes
1:08:12
those protons . It would affect the way
1:08:14
that they they spin so , and
1:08:17
that's how we use , when you harness
1:08:19
that technology to capture
1:08:21
MRI imaging for diagnosis and treatment
1:08:23
. So talk a little
1:08:25
bit about what do you think , what you think is occurring
1:08:27
on a molecular
1:08:30
level when , when we
1:08:32
think about RF and EMF , yeah
1:08:36
, it's it .
1:08:36
This is a tricky one and it's one that's like
1:08:39
, yeah , like almost groundbreaking research
1:08:41
. I watched some videos in the past
1:08:43
week actually that new research has come
1:08:45
out . It's based , proving
1:08:48
that all of our cells are oscillating
1:08:50
at specific frequencies . Right
1:08:52
, and I know
1:08:55
Doug Wallace has talked about , you know , 100
1:08:57
Hertz being like a very important oscillation
1:08:59
frequency for the mitochondria . But
1:09:01
the video I watched was
1:09:04
talking about breast cells is actually what
1:09:06
they used in this study and they found that
1:09:08
I think they're oscillating at 10 to 30
1:09:10
kilohertz and some of them as high as in
1:09:12
the megahertz range . So our
1:09:14
biology is innately based
1:09:17
in oscillation and
1:09:19
frequency and , going
1:09:21
back to the microwave example , radio
1:09:23
frequencies will disturb
1:09:26
that , they will alter that , and you
1:09:28
know so much of our biology is rooted
1:09:31
in water and we know
1:09:33
that water has these coherent
1:09:35
domains as well from judice's
1:09:37
work that emit and absorb
1:09:39
, basically acting like an antenna for
1:09:42
electromagnetic fields . So
1:09:44
any exposure to non native
1:09:46
EMFs , to radio frequencies , is
1:09:48
going to alter that oscillation
1:09:51
, alter the coherent domain of the
1:09:53
water , which is going to affect a
1:09:55
lot of things . And one of the main you
1:09:58
know aspects that people can easily
1:10:00
attest to is that EMFs
1:10:04
, especially high EMF areas
1:10:06
, radio frequencies they cause dehydration
1:10:08
. I mean , if you ever take a flight , you
1:10:10
know that you get super dehydrated
1:10:13
. That's why so many people
1:10:15
are always reaching for the next
1:10:17
glass of water . It doesn't help that they're drinking garbage
1:10:20
water as well , but it's because
1:10:22
Alcohol . Yeah , or
1:10:24
alcohol , or so much caffeine just to
1:10:26
have enough to get through the day , because they have
1:10:28
just such dysfunctional mitochondria
1:10:31
. But
1:10:33
this is really disrupting
1:10:35
how water is functioning in our biology
1:10:37
. It's disrupting the production of
1:10:39
metabolic water at complex
1:10:41
four , like you mentioned . It's
1:10:44
altering proton interactions . It's
1:10:47
altering the ability
1:10:50
for exclusion zone to be
1:10:52
formed Gerald Pollock has talked about how
1:10:54
Wi-Fi can collapse the exclusion zone
1:10:56
. And then when we don't have
1:10:58
proper hydration , we don't
1:11:01
have properly functioning semiconductors
1:11:03
, because our biological semiconductors
1:11:05
all need to be hydrated to
1:11:07
function very well . And it's all
1:11:10
kind of this synergistic approach
1:11:12
. And again it goes back to the
1:11:14
fact that these are all areas
1:11:16
of our biology that centralized
1:11:18
medicine has no clue about
1:11:20
, no interest in researching
1:11:22
, and that is
1:11:25
really imperative . And it's completely
1:11:27
a different effect than the direct impact
1:11:29
of photons , exciting
1:11:32
electrons , like we know from the photoelectric
1:11:34
effect from sunlight and then ionizing
1:11:37
radiation as well , from Compton scattering
1:11:39
and things like that . But to me
1:11:41
that's really where
1:11:44
a lot of this dysfunction is happening is its
1:11:46
effect on water . And
1:11:48
then from Dr Martin Powell's work , who's
1:11:51
one of the other fantastic researchers
1:11:53
, we have this effect on
1:11:55
the voltage-gated channels , which
1:11:57
he thinks is kind of like the voltage-gated
1:12:00
calcium channels is the most upstream
1:12:02
impact on how EMFs
1:12:04
are affecting our biology . I
1:12:06
think it's multifaceted and
1:12:09
it's . A big part of that
1:12:11
is the water story , but it all
1:12:13
comes back to kind of a multifaceted
1:12:16
approach . Jack mentioned
1:12:18
on our podcast it's
1:12:20
ending the life where it's causing
1:12:23
dysfunction in our
1:12:25
semiconductor functions
1:12:28
and the ability to
1:12:30
have proper redox potential and
1:12:33
hydration , which is all
1:12:36
synergistic in how our
1:12:38
body needs to optimally function
1:12:40
, and that's all rooted in the mitochondria
1:12:42
as well .
1:12:44
Yeah , the Martin-Paul and the voltage-gated calcium
1:12:46
channel story . That's just one aspect to
1:12:48
it and maybe more of a biochemical kind
1:12:51
of aspect to what's going on and
1:12:53
this idea that these EMFs
1:12:55
are inducing basically constitutive
1:12:58
opening of the voltage-gated calcium channels
1:13:00
and causing a very
1:13:02
inappropriately raised amount
1:13:05
of intracellular calcium . And
1:13:07
mitochondria know and they sense that
1:13:10
they rely on calcium as a critical
1:13:12
signal to modulate pathways
1:13:14
like apoptosis of
1:13:17
the cell . It's all a very , very intricately
1:13:20
linked homostatic
1:13:23
mechanism to do with the
1:13:25
cell and its mitochondria and
1:13:27
signals . So mess that up
1:13:29
with something like the
1:13:31
EMF and there you go , you've
1:13:34
got more propensity for the cell
1:13:36
to apoptose . The other aspect
1:13:38
I liked your summary of what's
1:13:41
going on with water . Dr
1:13:43
Doug Wallace has talked about and
1:13:45
Cruz as well have talked about this
1:13:48
idea of mitochondria's environmental
1:13:50
senses and it makes complete
1:13:54
sense to me in my mind that
1:13:56
if they were
1:13:58
bacteria , we know that they were ancestral
1:14:00
bacteria . They've been on this planet for billions
1:14:02
of years and don't think
1:14:04
for a moment that they haven't evolved to
1:14:07
adapt to the background
1:14:09
electromagnetic environment . I
1:14:12
mean of course they have and of course they're
1:14:14
able to sense that . I mean that makes intuitive
1:14:16
sense to me that they're adapted and sensing
1:14:19
the human resonance , the obviously
1:14:21
the terrestrial sunlight , the
1:14:24
difference between night and day and the effect that
1:14:26
, say , infrared light has on the melatonin production
1:14:28
. But I think that when
1:14:30
you chuck in these profoundly
1:14:33
different EMF signature , these
1:14:38
man-made sources , then the
1:14:40
mitochondria are sensing them . There's no , the
1:14:42
way that they're not , and I think it's therefore
1:14:45
just moot to be exactly how
1:14:49
they're disrupting and to what
1:14:51
degree is that combining with other
1:14:53
things ? And
1:14:56
to zoom out , I want to put this in context . We've got all
1:14:58
these other mitochondrial toxins attacking us at the same
1:15:00
time . We've got the
1:15:02
isolated blue light and the lack of outside
1:15:05
sunlight . We've got things
1:15:08
like deuterium , excess deuterium in our food
1:15:10
and glyphosate contamination
1:15:12
that's preventing us from deplete the deuterium
1:15:14
. And we've got high
1:15:16
carb seed oil , high fructose
1:15:19
corn syrup diet . That
1:15:21
again is plant wrecking havoc
1:15:23
on mitochondrial function . So to
1:15:26
layer the EMF environment
1:15:28
on top of everything else . I think that's
1:15:31
why you're getting a disproportionate
1:15:33
effect in today's day and age when
1:15:35
it comes to these complex diseases like
1:15:37
Alzheimer's , neurodegeneration , cancer
1:15:39
, autoimmunity and metabolic
1:15:42
disease , because the mitochondria are basically getting
1:15:44
kicked on the ground in a sack from all angles
1:15:47
.
1:15:51
You just can't get away with it anymore with
1:15:53
the electrosmog environment
1:15:55
that we live in and I don't know if I've
1:15:57
just come to that conclusion it's
1:15:59
too much . And actually one cool
1:16:02
example and yeah , I'm
1:16:04
not discounted , but the voltage gate of
1:16:06
calcium channel stuff I was kind of like , yeah , it's not
1:16:08
super interesting , but you actually dive deeper into
1:16:10
it and there's a great
1:16:12
example of exactly that . So
1:16:15
the EMFs , activating the voltage
1:16:17
sensor , causing calcium
1:16:19
e-flex into the cell , causes nitric oxide
1:16:21
release and
1:16:24
nitric oxide has a very interesting role in our biology
1:16:27
. It can be good , it can be bad . It can
1:16:29
form with superoxide and things like proxenitrite
1:16:32
, which is really bad , or it can
1:16:34
be beneficial for certain things . But
1:16:36
for an example , affecting complex
1:16:38
four in the mitochondria , nitric
1:16:41
oxide can either be kind of
1:16:43
like a neutral effect on complex four
1:16:45
or it can be a very detrimental effect
1:16:47
if the environment does
1:16:50
not have enough oxygen . So if
1:16:52
we're in this pseudo-hypoxic environment
1:16:54
and then nitric oxide is introduced
1:16:57
to complex four , in
1:16:59
what would that be ? A reduced state ? Then
1:17:02
it competes for the same binding site
1:17:04
and eventually leads to this massive
1:17:06
accumulation of nitric
1:17:08
oxide , increased reactive oxygen species
1:17:11
and eventual inhibition
1:17:13
. And what is produced at complex
1:17:16
four , is metabolic water right
1:17:18
? So it's all kind of this negative
1:17:20
feedback loop and that just goes
1:17:22
to show it's like maybe some EMF
1:17:24
exposure . Then there's higher
1:17:27
nitric oxide production and that's
1:17:29
fine if you
1:17:32
have high oxygen levels , oxidized
1:17:34
cytochrome C oxidase . But if
1:17:36
you're already in an artificially
1:17:39
lit environment I mean not getting
1:17:41
proper sunlight so hemoglobin transfer
1:17:43
of oxygen is lowered
1:17:45
there's this whole onslaught and then it's kind
1:17:48
of like , oh , that's when everything really
1:17:50
goes bad . So pseudo-hypoxia
1:17:52
plus like EMF exposure is
1:17:54
not good and it just
1:17:57
goes to show that our biology is actually
1:17:59
like very resilient , like there's all these backup
1:18:01
mechanisms , there's all these like
1:18:03
alternative ways to deal with problems
1:18:05
. But when you overwhelm it to
1:18:07
such a degree with the toxic super
1:18:10
world we live in , there's just no
1:18:12
way you're not going to have dysfunction
1:18:15
at all levels , especially in the mitochondria
1:18:17
.
1:18:18
Yeah , well , let's talk about what people
1:18:20
can do , because that is
1:18:22
the hope . I like to leave
1:18:24
my podcasts on some actionable
1:18:27
advice . So you mentioned
1:18:29
that getting out of the city makes the most sense
1:18:31
and I think that
1:18:33
finding out where these
1:18:36
5G towers are
1:18:38
and kind of probably
1:18:40
moving as far away as you can after
1:18:44
you've done things like affect
1:18:47
your own indoor environment because that's
1:18:50
another point If you're worried
1:18:52
about you move away from the 5G
1:18:54
tower but you've got again your phone
1:18:56
on next to you , sleeping next to your
1:18:58
head , then we've
1:19:00
got to get in the order of operations correct first
1:19:02
. But talk about what you suggest
1:19:05
for people that can move and for both
1:19:07
people that can't move .
1:19:10
Yeah , if you can get out of high population
1:19:12
areas , obviously that's ideal . I
1:19:14
think even moving from a downtown
1:19:16
area to a suburb like 20
1:19:19
minute move , you could say you just work
1:19:21
in the same place . But instead of living downtown
1:19:23
in a high rise or an apartment , apartment
1:19:27
complexes are . I stayed at a friend's house
1:19:29
the other day when I was skiing in Utah
1:19:31
and you just flip on the wife and
1:19:34
I was getting him on board . He's like , yeah , I'll turn
1:19:36
the Wi-Fi off , sure thing . He's like I trust
1:19:38
you . But then I go and look at the
1:19:40
Wi-Fi and there's like 15 Wi-Fi networks
1:19:42
within my area , whereas
1:19:44
in my house in Wyoming there's just
1:19:46
my network and that's it
1:19:48
. Yeah , so getting
1:19:51
out of an apartment complex , high rise downtown
1:19:53
area is huge . I think it's even going to be
1:19:55
more important in
1:19:57
two years , three years , when they really
1:19:59
start rolling out millimeter waves
1:20:01
, as mentioned . They're not really in
1:20:03
use at all yet , but
1:20:05
that's coming . I don't know if
1:20:08
it's next year , I don't know if it's this year or
1:20:10
in three to five years when it really becomes
1:20:12
like a normal everyday thing . Maybe
1:20:14
it'll only be for big events downtown
1:20:17
, but for 5G , as
1:20:19
mentioned , with the targeted beam , the higher power
1:20:21
beam . You just want to be avoiding
1:20:24
high trafficked areas on
1:20:26
a regular basis . To
1:20:28
me , the best way to avoid
1:20:30
a high level of exposure and
1:20:33
I noticed as well is when you go to these
1:20:35
areas you just don't feel as
1:20:37
good and it's not like a coincidence
1:20:39
. Even moving
1:20:41
to a single level
1:20:44
apartment instead of like a massive
1:20:46
complex or 10 minutes outside
1:20:48
of downtown , I think could be a
1:20:50
drastic improvement . If
1:20:52
you can move , obviously , wherever
1:20:55
you want , then rural areas are
1:20:57
always better . You're going to have less
1:20:59
EMFs . Less people means
1:21:01
less EMFs . That's
1:21:05
the way to go about it . The other thing
1:21:07
is how you use technology . Recently
1:21:10
I've overhauled my home
1:21:13
internet environment . I'm hardwired
1:21:15
in . I
1:21:17
turned my Wi-Fi off at night or
1:21:20
I was turning it off at night . If
1:21:23
you have apartments or you have
1:21:25
roommates , you can use things like an outlet
1:21:27
timer . Hardwiring internet
1:21:29
, even if you have a Wi-Fi
1:21:32
network , will be helpful because
1:21:34
, again , if you're working on a laptop
1:21:37
, the laptop is the receiver , so
1:21:39
that's pinging a signal , whereas
1:21:41
if you hardwired in , even
1:21:43
with Wi-Fi on say , your roommates
1:21:46
don't want to keep
1:21:48
the Wi-Fi off during the day , or whoever
1:21:50
you have tenants or something
1:21:52
like that , even if you hardwire your laptop
1:21:54
, you're going to get a reduction in exposure
1:21:56
because you're removing that receiver from being
1:21:59
like one foot away from you all the time . That's
1:22:03
important . That's a big step . You
1:22:05
can hardwire your phone if you want as well . That's a little bit
1:22:07
more inconvenient , but I've tried that
1:22:10
Again . Keeping your phone on airplane
1:22:12
mode as much
1:22:14
as you can , using it especially
1:22:17
in low signal environments , your
1:22:19
cell phone will boost its
1:22:22
radiation output two to four times
1:22:24
to get a signal out
1:22:26
. Avoiding using your phone
1:22:28
in very poor reception areas
1:22:31
is a good one . Then
1:22:33
distance Distance is always
1:22:35
your best friend in terms of
1:22:37
mitigation of EMF exposure
1:22:39
. Keeping your phone
1:22:41
always on speaker Listen
1:22:44
to Apple , they're the ones that tell you . Never
1:22:46
hold it against your head and
1:22:48
always use it on speaker . Always use it
1:22:50
on with headphones . If
1:22:52
you want to use air tube headphones
1:22:55
, they're better than wired . Wired or far better than
1:22:57
Bluetooth . Again , it's this toxic
1:23:00
accumulation of exposure
1:23:02
. Any sort of reduction
1:23:04
that you can implement in your daily
1:23:07
life will be a benefit . Turning the Wi-Fi
1:23:09
off for four hours a
1:23:11
night is better than zero
1:23:13
hours . It's better than 24 , seven exposure
1:23:15
. But if you can turn off for
1:23:17
six or eight , that's even better . If you
1:23:20
can turn your phone on airplane mode for
1:23:22
X amount of time . It's
1:23:24
all about just improvements
1:23:27
on any level and
1:23:29
really just striving for that
1:23:31
. Of course , all the lifestyle habits
1:23:33
that you preach , that I preach getting
1:23:36
outside as much as possible , leaving
1:23:39
your phone . Especially , I
1:23:43
used to be into tracking my runs or things
1:23:45
like that . Now , whenever
1:23:48
I exercised , I leave my phone
1:23:50
at home . If I want to time myself
1:23:52
, I bring a really crappy
1:23:54
DC battery powered watch and
1:23:56
just use that , because I
1:23:59
really am trying to be deliberate about just
1:24:01
breaking a connection for
1:24:03
at least one to two hours
1:24:05
a day where I'm
1:24:07
not even near my phone , I'm
1:24:09
not even near technology because
1:24:11
it is so challenging . As we are
1:24:14
on technology so
1:24:16
much , there
1:24:18
are good companies out there where you can buy
1:24:20
Ethernet cables and all
1:24:22
this sort of set of like techwellnesscom
1:24:25
, electra Health , I think I've bought stuff
1:24:27
from in terms of shielding
1:24:29
products and things like that . I'm not
1:24:31
a huge fan , as you know , of like harmonizers
1:24:34
and all that nonsense . I
1:24:36
talk about a lot of that in my EMF
1:24:38
course and then I'm also
1:24:41
working on a whole curriculum
1:24:43
for EMF stuff . I
1:24:46
don't know when this will be released , but I'm
1:24:48
building one on modern tech
1:24:50
which is going to be EMF 201
1:24:53
, which pretty much talks all about 5G
1:24:55
, 6g , 4g electric
1:24:59
vehicles , all the
1:25:01
above traveling , and that will
1:25:03
all be covered in that course , so you can check that
1:25:05
out . I think we need to support companies
1:25:08
that are trying to build technology better
1:25:10
. I've
1:25:13
podcasted , and definitely you need
1:25:16
to podcast , with Anjan from Daylight
1:25:18
Computer Support
1:25:21
that that's a really cool venture
1:25:23
that they've got going on down there or
1:25:25
over there in Silicon
1:25:27
Valley and it's cool to see
1:25:29
that solutions are potentially
1:25:32
starting to pop up . And then we need to embrace
1:25:34
that . We need to educate people
1:25:36
on the harmful effects and
1:25:38
kind of just have an opt
1:25:41
out , because if people have an alternative
1:25:43
they will use it . If they don't , a
1:25:45
lot of these things are inconvenient . But
1:25:48
again , any reduction in exposure can
1:25:50
be helpful , especially , I would
1:25:52
say Number one priority , number
1:25:54
one recommendation is for
1:25:56
children . They are far more susceptible
1:25:59
to harmful effects from EMFs
1:26:02
because of their developing biology
1:26:04
, because of their smaller body size and
1:26:06
this is really where I get passionate about
1:26:08
it , because this is really
1:26:11
sad and they're getting mitochondrial
1:26:13
hetero plasmia at such earlier
1:26:15
ages and that's why we see chronic disease
1:26:17
at such earlier ages , and
1:26:20
especially if that's starting in
1:26:22
the womb . So pregnancy , fertility
1:26:25
, again , huge EMF issues
1:26:27
. I would say almost that's the biggest
1:26:30
issue really . And , yeah
1:26:32
, making that a priority for your children , if not
1:26:34
yourself .
1:26:36
Yeah , great summer interest and I'll underline
1:26:39
a couple points . And there's
1:26:41
no role for these gimmicky devices
1:26:43
that you can stick on your iPhone or
1:26:45
wear around your neck . That's
1:26:47
a scam and just avoid that . This
1:26:50
is about distance and the inverse
1:26:52
square law , as you've talked about at length here
1:26:55
in previous discussions . So it's just
1:26:57
about getting distance . The
1:26:59
nature thing is so important because it
1:27:02
seems like when we just get back to nature , all
1:27:04
these minor problems kind of solve for
1:27:06
themselves . And trees , they're blocking
1:27:09
the 5G signal . They're also concentrating
1:27:11
the infrared photons , which are the
1:27:13
beneficial sunlight non-visible
1:27:15
sunlight . So there's even
1:27:17
more reasons to live in a place that's surrounded
1:27:19
by trees and has good tree
1:27:22
cover . So that is
1:27:24
a great summary and
1:27:26
if anyone wants to delve deeper
1:27:28
into these topics then
1:27:31
, yeah , I would really encourage checking out
1:27:33
Tristan's course EMF 101 and
1:27:35
the rest of his courses which
1:27:37
he's going to be building , and hopefully
1:27:39
we can raise the awareness of
1:27:42
the health impacts of non-native EMF
1:27:44
, starting with , obviously
1:27:46
, with blue light , which I've talked about at length , but
1:27:49
continuing with Wi-Fi , with 5G , with
1:27:51
all these other forms of energy
1:27:54
and radiation that your biology
1:27:56
did not evolve with . So
1:27:59
I will include all these links in the show
1:28:01
notes for everyone
1:28:03
. And , yes again
1:28:05
, if you have more questions , then do
1:28:07
Tristan's course and
1:28:09
they will hopefully give you the tools
1:28:12
to mitigate this environment
1:28:14
. I've also talked about
1:28:17
in my course . The circadian
1:28:19
reset is about how
1:28:22
you can also get back to nature
1:28:24
in a bunch of ways , and optimizing
1:28:26
I think your circadian health is also part of basically
1:28:30
crushing your mitochondria through this toxic
1:28:32
environment that we find ourselves in . So
1:28:35
, tristan , thank you so much for coming
1:28:37
on and sharing all this amazing knowledge . I think
1:28:39
you're really piecing
1:28:41
together areas of science and
1:28:43
biology that no one else sees , and
1:28:45
that is what we need . We need multidisciplinary
1:28:47
thinkers , we need engineers coming into
1:28:49
health and biology , so I
1:28:51
think together we can make
1:28:54
a difference . So thanks again .
1:28:56
Thanks for having me again , max . It's always a pleasure , cheers
